POCATELLO, Idaho- After catching only 33 passes for 301 yards in his first two seasons,
Josh Hill broke loose as a junior in 2011 catching 48 passes for 407 yards and one touchdown, earning honorable mention all-conference honors.
As Hill enters his senior season, he has been named to the College Football Performance Awards Watch List for tight ends and will be looked upon to contribute heavily to the Bengal offense.
“
Josh Hill returns for the fourth year as a starter,” Idaho State football coach
Mike Kramer said. “We expect him to be a dominant player at the position. He is a multi-talented athlete who has the ability to flank out into space.”
Also expected to see playing time at the position is freshman
Tyler Wright. Wright gray shirted in 2011 but did participate in spring practice where he quickly made an impact.
“
Tyler Wright was clearly one of the best recruits in our 2011 class having gray shirted in 2011,” Kramer said. “He will have a presence on the field in 2012.”
Also expected to compete for time at tight end are freshman
Josh Cook from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.,
Thomas Graff a junior college transfer from Saddleback JC and Parker Garner.
